<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif">The Social 
Science Department at South Salem High School provides students with a wide 
range of courses.&nbsp; The core courses at the 9<sup>th</sup> and 10<sup>th</sup> 
grade levels provide students with the opportunity to learn about geography, 
civics, world and U.S. history as well as economics.&nbsp; Students in the 11<sup>th</sup> 
and 12<sup>th</sup> grade may choose courses which have more specific content. 
The goal of the Social Science Department is to develop students as functioning 
citizens, create analytical thinkers and help build an appreciation of other 
people and cultures from around the world. Freshmen level social science courses 
are assigned based on 8<sup>th</sup> grade teacher recommendation.&nbsp; Students 
wishing to enroll in IB Prep classes must complete an application and take the 
placement exam.</span></p>
